ok.....here is the page I am building.....

http://home.attbi.com/~battle_zone/BZ_new.htm

the cell under the Logo is to hold my major content / league info.

The top line will say.....STAFF , with the staff members listed horizontally under that.

Every time I try to add this.....it centers it in the cell instead of placing it center top.


Example:

STAFF

Head Admin: XXXXX Asst Admin: XXXXX


What am I missing ???????


Other content will be added later.


TIA

Disaster_inc: Welcome if I haven't aid it already. OK tables eh - rather than my usual lets not use tables business (although I'd still recommend it) lets try ot fix the problem (its lucky I still have that free copy of HoTMetaL Pro 4 lying around).

Firstly there are other problems like:

quote:
<font SIZE=+1 SIZE=+1 color="YELLOW">Link to Us</font>



1. Get rid of the font tags all together.

2. You have an input floating around doing nothing.

Anyway you really need to simplify that table layout as the various cells and colpsans are proabbly causing you trouble - try this (sorry about the messy code I was playing with something more complex in hotmetal Pro and then scrapped it but made that instead - it would have been quicker to do it by hand ):

code:
<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<TABLE WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>Ladders</TD>
<TD>Logo</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Nav</TD>
<TD>
<h1>Staff</h1>
<p>Head Admin: XXXXX</p>
<p>Asst Admin: XXXXX</p>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>



Even with layouts that have to compatible in early browsers you should really only use tables (for layouts) to create columns (and sometimes rows that line up). For most of that navigation down the side you can get rid of the cells and use DIVs (or just P or BR).
